The song "Fire" is by American R&B and funk band, "The Ohio Players". The song was used on the soundtrack of the 2004 film, "Walking Tall".
The Ohio Players The group initially formed in 1959, but broke up in 1963 after vocalist and guitarist Richard Ward decided to pursue a solo career.
The band reformed a little while later and produced their most famous work including two number one singles, including "Fire".
In total, the group had seven top 40 singles between 1973 and 1976 - with two further number ones coming in the shape of "Love Rollercoaster" and their last single "Who'd She Coo?".
Walking Tall Walking Tall was a re-make of the 1973 film of the same name, starring Johnny Knoxville and Dwayne Johnson. It was released in 2004 to a poor critical reception, although the film did manage to make a profit at the box office.
